PlayStation released the latest trailer for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Wednesday. Dubbed a story trailer, the two-minute video details the struggle of retired fortune hunter Nathan Drake as he is dragged back into the world of thievery by his brother Sam.

Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series has long been known for blurring the lines between being a video game and a movie. This trailer sticks to that theme featuring scenes of Drake and Sam looking out over vast landscapes interspersed with clips of gun fights, car chases and explosions with soundbites of dramatic dialogue being played throughout.

This time around, Drake and Sam are searching for some legendary “booty” rumored to be the “biggest pirate treasure of all time,” according to one character.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End hits stores April 26 for the Playstation 4.

The tweet may signal the end of service issues for Xbox Live, which has been inoperable for some users since Monday. According to the account, the issue is that users have not been able to purchase or access digital content, including games. This is the latest in what has not been a great month for Xbox Live with other outages being reported earlier this month.

Xbox head Phil Spencer tweeted an apology for the issues.

This is the Twitter handle to follow get up to date status. Very sorry for the current issues. https://t.co/e3u1niGHOl

Since leading Denver to the Lombardi Trophy, Broncos linebacker and Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller has been making the rounds, appearing on television on shows such as “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” to “Saturday Night Live.”

His latest stop brought him to the house of actor Verne Troyer, best known for his role as Mini-Me in the “Austin Powers” series. Troyer played Miller in NBA 2K15 and released the video on his YouTube channel.

Miller shared with Troyer about his farting, tattoos and movies. And then proceeded, as the Lakers, to beat Troyer’s Rockets.

Bungie announced Thursday that developers are working on Destiny 2, sequel to Bungie’s 2014 shared-world shooter “Destiny”, for 2017. The news comes via Deej, Bungie’s community manager, as part of the site’s weekly update.

Deej revealed that Bungie is also working on a “large expansion” for “Destiny” this year:

Prior to the holiday break we mentioned a second, larger update slated for Spring. That content release will feature a significant Light increase, a bunch of new gear to earn and equip, and new challenges for PvE players seeking some more fun experiences and replayability.

Beyond that, the team is focused on delivering a large expansion later this year, and a full Destiny sequel in 2017.

Destiny has more than 25 million registered players according to an Activision revenue report released in November.

“Most wanted person…Where are you Crash?” That’s Google Translate’s take on the arabic text on a cryptic tweet posted by Playstation Mid East early Saturday (Feb. 6). Above the text, the tweet features a picture of a full-body wanted poster with Crash Bandicoot on it.

The tweet has the gaming world abuzz with speculation about whether Sony is teasing a new Crash game or a potential remaster. As of right now, there has been no official word from Sony beyond this. Crash first appeared in September of 1996 in “Crash Bandicoot” for the original Playstation. The last Crash Bandicoot game released was Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2 for the iPhone and iPod Touch in 2010.

Naughty Dog was the original developer behind Crash Bandicoot. They have since gone on to develop the Jax and Daxter series, “The Last of Us” and the Uncharted series.

2015 graced players with a slew of great titles across PC, mobile and all the consoles. From innovative titles that redefine how we play games like Evolve to the next installments of tried and true franchises such as Halo 5: Guardians, there was a lot to love in 2015.

Every year, John Wenzel recaps the year in gaming with his picks for game of the year. Last year, I joined him in the endeavor, posting the best and worst games I reviewed in 2014. This year, we chose a more unified approach. Watch our commentary on the best, most surprising and disappointing titles from 2015 in the video above.

Biggest Surprise of 2015

Super Mario Maker

Truth moment, I’m not a huge fan of build-your-own world games, modes or simulations, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy Super Mario Maker. The game is so intuitive. Because players are so familiar with the Mushroom Kingdom and its mustachioed (learned how to spell that playing Mario games by the way) hero, creating levels for him to roam through feels like second nature. Of course, some are more creative than others, which brings up the game’s real draw: the ability to create and share levels with other people around the world. Like I said in my review it was a great idea to put the Super Mario franchise in the hands of those who know it best.

Well, a virtual version of it anyways. Electronic Arts announced Wednesday that the former heavyweight boxing champ will be a playable character in the upcoming EA Sports UFC 2. He will be available with a pre-order of the game’s deluxe edition.

The game has old-school Iron Mike, as well as bald, tattooed faced Tyson. The pre-order offer also includes UFC Hall of Famer Bas Rutten and Kzushi Sakuraba.

In the trailer, the digital Tyson is seen wrecking his opponents with a barrage of punches and elbows. My question is — just like it was to Ronda Rousey in her bout against Holly Holm — why are Tyson’s opponents in the virtual octagon trying to outstrike him? You don’t outbox a boxer.

EA Sports UFC 2 is slated to be released March 15 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

It may be a while before “Rick and Morty” fans get to see season three of the animated series (Mr. Poopy Butthole suggested it may be a year and a half or more after the credits of the season two finale), but get ready to get schwifty. A new mobile game could curb that appetite — at least for a little bit.

Pocket Mortys, released for mobile devices Jan. 13, takes the series’ universe and shoves it into a Pokémon-esque world. The user controls scientist Rick Sanchez as he travels around different dimensions to capture and train different versions of his grandson Morty to battle other trainers and their Mortys. And just like Pokémon, it’s a turn-based battle system. Rick can capture “wild” Mortys and add them to his party. And there’s also an option to, um, breed like-type Mortys — there are more than 70 to collect.

Like how Pokémon has fire-types and water-types that create advantages over other types in battles, Pocket Mortys has rock-types, paper-types and scissor-types. However, the fights do become repetitive after a while, but that was the case in the Pokémon series, as well.

The game’s soundtrack references songs from the show, from “Goodbye, Moonmen” to the song from Roy: A life well lived. A favorite is the opening song, a 8-bit-ish version of Chaos Chaos’ “Do You Feel It?”

Pocket Mortys captures the essence of the show, highlighting its dark humor and plays fan service with the different cameos and references. It’s worth the download for fans of the show.

Pocket Mortys was released Jan. 13 for the iOS and Android. While the game is free to download, there is an in-app purchasing system, as has become the norm in mobile games.
